Adelle Archer founder Eterneva
Adelle has turned a lot of heads with her ideas over the past few years. She went to Acton school of business for entrepreneurship and was valedictorian of her class there. Then she started coming up with products for social media platforms like Facebook, Amazon, and twitter. Eventually as she continued to think through the ideation process, she created Eterneva. When she lost a mentor she wanted to do something for her to commemorate her life. She also recognized the growing market in death care she created a way to make someone’s ashes into diamonds. Her and her team set out on the path to make it happen and it started to take off. They quit their jobs to fully pursue this venture and pitched to shark tank. Mark Cuban decided to invest in her idea, and she was off and running. In the first year they made a profit of 280,000 and were selected to be on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. The way she creates the diamond is making them in a process which applies a lot of pressure to the ashes eventually creating a synthetic diamond. It only needs a cup of ashes which is an 1/8 of what is typically made during cremation. It is a more expensive process than buying a typical diamond because just .5 carats is $7,000. It is a much longer lasting alternative to ashes and the diamonds can be passed down through generations. Adelle Archer has accomplished a lot at just 27 and keep an eye on her in the future as she comes up with more innovative ideas.
